Structural bioinformatics deals with problems where the rules that govern the biochemical processes and relations are partially known which makes hard to design efficient computational strategies for these problems. There is a wide range of unanswered questions, which cannot be answered neither by experiments nor by classical modeling and simulation approaches. Specifically, there are several problems that still do not have a computational method that can guarantee a minimum quality of solution. The general goal of this project is to develop metaheuristics models based on robust and scalable parallel and distributed computing for structural bioinformatic problems. International Project (Stic-Amsud 2016) between the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS, Brazil), University of Nacional de San Luis (UNSL, Argentine), University of Santiago de Chile (USACH, Chile), University of Pierre et Marie Currie (UPMC, LIP6, INRIA, France).
